EPThe relies a lot on flash+R to close gaps and if someone has QSS it stops that dead too.
Horse has high winrates in korea with cinderhulk-->trinity path might be a good alternative for a damaging jungler. Tried it out seems really strong.

I play some skarner, one of my weaker winrates. I cant remember if its because of the champ or i just get unlucky teams with him so not sure. He's hella fun though. And yea youre right I see a lot of hecarim in master/challenger games, I think he is really strong atm too but not my style. You gotta gank like every minute with him. | ||

Not sure how to really play Skarner myself. Never really seen/tried it. http://www.op.gg/champion/skarner/statistics/jungle Seems like Skarner really likes Steraks, and I imagine new RG on him is probably core. | ||

I don't really ever build it though, there are better items in my opinion since it got nerfed so many times love triforce/banshee on him, essential imo. the amount of champs that only have one defense mechanism is quite high. Your veil eats it and its lights out for them. Im liking the price lower for next patch, will be a nice mid game purchase for catches | ||

It is near the top on NA and EUW too. Maybe its so that he doesn't get blown up if at the end of the game he just herpderp runs at teams? I dunno, just guessing. | ||

This is a super dangerous line of reasoning to go down, because by the same logic Mejai's is statistically the strongest item on every single AP champ. For example, if only 6-item Skarners are building Sterak's, then its winrate is going to be a lot higher than an item that every single Skarner, even a losing one, is able to build (i.e., Cinderhulk or Warrior). | ||

Absolutely. But its also in 2 of the top two 3 item core winrates as well; Cinderhulk > Triforce > Steraks Cinderhulk > Icebound > Spirit Visage Cinderhulk > Icebound > Steraks All 3 have an over 70% winrate. That being said, I think the sample sizes a little too low. Seems like he has pretty high build diversity in general. Both Warrior and Cinderhulk seem to be viable. | ||

As many of you know, tomorrow will be the day of the finals of EU CS qualifier and the 3rd place match which decides the teams that go to participate in challenger series. Riot released patch 6.9 and the players will have to adapt to the patch in 1 day. Something is clearly wrong here. Klaj's tweet:https://twitter.com/Klajbajk/status/727574566382489601 this is hilarious | ||

It's a poor justification on junglers. Cinder+triforce alone is ~7k gold including boots2, which is past the point where a lot of games are decided. My average game time for the last 20 is something like 26 minutes, with junglers generally having 9-12k gold on winning team, and 7-10k on the losing team. The losing games you wouldn't even be able to afford the items to show up on those statistics. | ||

it lists his E as going UP to 1.0 ratio, while it is a 1.0 ratio on live so I think it got typed in backwards because it was nerfed on the pbe, high probability it's actually going to be .8 when it goes live tomorrow. Considering the game patches every 2 weeks I feel like Riot went a little hard on compensatory nerfs on a couple of the updates. "the dream" for Swain has always been what if I didn't have to max E, but the cost was pretty high. His level 1 auto trades should be funny though. | ||

Geomancer is a cool concept, but this one doesn't seem interesting. Looking forward to testing out Brand and Zyra the most. Like the explosion on Brand and love the extra plants. I'm worried about my beloved Syndra though. I don't like the increased sphere time on paper, but we'll see. | ||

When Mao + other tanks were popular a year/1.5 year ago I was getting solokills as Mao in 80% of my lanes. (D4/D5 ELO) Until you get to masters people will die to literally everything and you can snowball any champion you want. Last time I played Malph I went 8/1/0 in the first 15 minutes, just from killing my lane opponent and the enemy jungler. Same goes for Garen vs Trundle, which should be a simple tank war. Saying you can't kill anybody in tank vs tank is just simply not true. Edit: Also, could someone help me out here. My League patcher crashes every single time it gets to stage 2/2 when patching. I've tried repairing, reinstalling, etc. but it still keeps happening. | ||

First impression of the new dragons = I hate it. Feels so RNG based. :/ | ||
